TO CLEAN A BRUSSELS CARPET.

FIRST have the carpet well shaken, then tack it down in the room where it is to remain, and sweep it as thoroughly as possible. Take a pail of hot water, put in two tablespoonfuls of powdered borax; wash the carpet all over the surface, using a flannel cloth. For grease-spots or very dirty places, use a scrubbing-brush freely, and a very little soap, taking care to rinse the soap off well after scrubbing. Change the water quite often. Rub the carpet well after washing, with a dry cloth, and open the doors and windows so as to dry it as quickly as possible.—Sel.
